How much should I budget for hinged security gates in Bridport?

A hinged security gate is a steel bar gate hung on its own welded frame in front of or behind a door. It swings open and closed like a second door and locks with a heavy-duty lock box, making it a strong choice for back doors, plant rooms and service entrances.

What to think about first

Finish

External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.

Escape route

If the gate is on an exit route, consider escape hardware or a management plan so it is never locked while people are inside.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

Hinged security gates in Bridport: questions

Can you survey in Bridport and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Bridport, Dorchester, Yeovil and elsewhere in Dorset are booked around installer availability.

Can you make a double gate?

Yes. Wide doorways can take a pair of gates or one large and one small leaf.

Can a hinged gate be used on a fire exit?

Only if it does not prevent escape while the building is occupied, for example with push-to-exit hardware or by being unlocked and fixed open during opening hours.

Is a hinged gate stronger than a retractable grille?

A well-made hinged gate is very strong because it has a rigid frame and solid bars. Retractable grilles trade a little rigidity for the ability to fold away.
